Wow. An utter dearth of results for v4.0 of Neat Video. But the bigger problem is, I cannot see what computer is being used. I consider that information important. Just telling me it is OS X is too vague. Can you please add specifics about the computer? Knowing the clock speed of the CPU would be nice too.

I was also shocked to see that the D300 (which is the video card used in the base model Mac Pro) is not "pro" at all compared to the R 290, which is used in the base model iMac. Are dual D300's really that slow, or is Neat Video merely optimized for the single GPU chip video cards in the iMac, rather than the expensive "pro" models?

I'm also surprised to see no M295X speed profiles. A lot of iMac users doing video work I know chose the 295 over the 290.

Maybe you folks at Neat Video should knock of 5% for Neat Video in exchange for Speed Test results? Either there are few of us who purchased Neat Video, or the folks who did purchase it are not spending time on the benchmarks. As someone planning to buy a new Mac, knowing which model and what GPU based would accelerate my video work would be very, very helpful.

I downloaded NeatBench 64-bit for my Yosemite iMac and ran it in the Terminal, but pasting the results into the "NeatVideo Optimize log" field and then clicking "Save" yields an invalid error. I then open FCPX and open Preferences > Performance and then click Optimize Settings and then Copy to Clipboard, but pasting that info in doesn't work either! I still get an invalid error!

I also see that the NeatVideo benchmark running in the Terminal yields slightly different results than doing the same in FCPX. Why?

Anyway, here is my information so you can post it to your DB manually:

Please note that the database is supported by a third party who is doing that in their spare time. I believe fifonik simply didn't yet have a chance to update the scripts there. Please be kind to your fellow forum member.

Thank you for posting your Optimize results here. It is normal that the speed measured inside a host application (FCPX in this case) may be lower than the speed measured by Neat Bench, because Neat Bench works alone, without any interference from the host application. Also, Neat Bench may run the test in another bitdepth (like 8-bit vs 32-bit in FCPX), which makes a difference as well.

The speeds seem not very high for an i7 CPU, probably because it is earlier model from several years ago. The clock speed (2.8) plays a role too. I guess the memory speed is also not highest possible.

As you can see, the new hardware is about 4 times faster even when using only 8 cores. So the lower speeds you observe on your machine probably have to do with hardware capabilities and there is a way to address that.

Thank you for reporting. The CPU-based results seem adequate. Regaring the GPU support, we will likely add it in the next update of Neat Video. Once the update becomes available, please re-run the test and also post the results in this thread.

I'm sorry for my delayed reply, but I only today visited your website and noticed NeatVideo had been updated. I discovered that your Terminal app "NeatBench" does not recognize my late 2015 5K iMac17,1's GPU. Here is what I did:

It really seems like we are hitting a plateau in performance at around 6 - 10 cores though.

From what I can recall of my results, results from my brothers machine (offline) and a few others posted here, we all fall somewhere between 20 - 23 FPS optimal performance. I know my machine peaks around 21fps or so on Neatbench and its only a lowly 6 core / 12 thread w/ a GTX 1070.

I know memory timing has been suggested to be a big performance impact as well. I'm really curious if anyone out there is running DDR4-3000Mhz or higher and what their gains look like vs the 2100 - 2800 Mhz range.
